Toyota SEG 1.6 A (1997) AE111 fuel tank size ?

char — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:49:09 +0800

Hi gurus

I have been researching online but no luck so far. I bought this car 2nd hand so no manual given/lost.

The petrol pump usually stop at 38 liter when low-fuel warning sign blink.

Just curious, for those who own the same model as mine (or expert), may I know what is the original fuel tank size of my car ?

This i so I can gauge what is the limit I can still go. Thanks

5.1 Home Theatre

Hello audio gurus

I am a newbie in home theater system and in need of extra opinion from experience player.

Recently my friend offered me a 2nd home theater set for RM 2K as a starter set. They consists of :

- Denon AVR 1800 (gold colour with remote control)
- JBL subwoofer PS100 (2x2, wood encase, black colour)
- JBL surround Flix2 (1 foot tall, wood encase, black colour)
- JBL central Flix2 (2 feet long, wood encase, black colour)
- Duke DK760s 3 way speaker for front (4ft tall, wood encase, dark maroon colour)
- includes standard wiring
- no warranty as it is a 2nd hand set

My intention is to hook up HTPC to avr, listening to some music via HTPC and 90% watch movie via HTPC. Watching DVD from DVD player would be 10 % of the time. In future may include hooking up PS3 to the avr. The home theater set is situated in my living hall. My LCD, DVD and HTPC comes with HDMI.

Here are some of my questions :

1) Is it worth considering since the AVR1800 is more than 10 years old ?

2) What would be alternative recommendation if I were to purchase a new set with a budget of ~RM 2K ?

3) I'm staying in Klang and frequent to KL and PJ. What would be a recommended AVR with HDMI connection ?

thanks everyone.

Another World Cup joke

char — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 18:36:43 +0800

Wish to contribute something. I heard it from colleague so it probably came from the circulating email or something. Full credits goes to the original contributor. Here goes.

One day, the football team from Korea, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia got their chance of a lifetime to ask GOD a question. The Korean asked first.

Korean : "God, when is our turn to win the World Cup?"

God : "About 50 years time."

Korean : " What !? Buhooohooohooooo........."

The Korean went home crying. Next, the Japan try their luck.

Japanese : "God, when is our turn to win the World Cup?"

God : "About 100 years time."

Japanese : " What !? Buhooohooohooooo........."

The Japanese also went home crying. Next, the Singaporean asked...

Singaporean : "God, when is our turn to win the World Cup?"

God : "About 500 years time."

Singaporean : " What !? Buhooohooohooooo........."

The Singaporean couldn't believe it and went back dejected. Lastly, the Malaysian turn...

Malaysian : "God, bila kita orang boleh menang World Cup ?"

God : "Buhooohooohooooo........."

relax... just a joke...

How to validate dropdown list in Javascript ?

char — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 16:13:50 +0800

Here's my sample code :

QUOTE

<html>
<head>
<script Language="Javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body>

<p>sample questions :
<ol>
<p><li><b>Which is red</b><p>
<ul type="A">
<li>Apple
<li>Orange
</ul>
<p>Answer:

<form name="answer_sheet" method="post" action="" onSubmit="return validate_form ( );">

<select name="answer1">
<option value=""> </option>
<option value="A">A</option>
<option value="B">B</option>
</select>

<p><input type="submit" name="send" value="Check"></p>

</form>
</ol>
</body>
</html>

Two questions :

[1] Assume the correct answer is "A". If the dropdown box selection is not "A" upon submit, how do I get it to run the script in green ? The above script currently does not run the green code. (I've tried <> or "A" but doesn't help)

[2] If the dropdown box selection is not "A", then I want "The correct answer is A" to display on the same line as the dropdown box. The script currently display it on an entire new page (and I don't want that).

The .htm above is an offline file for me to check my answer once I selected the dropdown box. It is suppose to be convenient for me to check the answer on-the spot after click submit instead of cross-check it on a separate piece of paper.

Let me know if my description is too confusing. Thanks in advance for your help.
